“One of the more entertaining books in my mind. It tells the story of a few rich kids in the late 80's at their rich school in the Northeast. Sex, lies, "rock n roll" are all part of college life, and this books captures some of the American college high life that every student wishes to experience.”

The book is even better than the movie, adding extra scenes that really explained and helped me really see the characters.”

Yes | No“I just love Bret's style of writing, he can make you laugh, can shock you and in this story of a love-triangle he takes an unoriginal concept and makes something better. Creates unlikeable characters through out which can be seen as a positive and negative - for me it was a positive. Couldn't understand why Bret saw this as a downer in his career thus far. ”
